first month @ 5/10 - hands & stats

raze · #1 04-01-2006, 04:48 PM

Hey,

I moved up to 5/10 in early March & I've been struggling. I'm getting beaten up by TAGs, LAGs, and its seems I'm even having trouble parting fish from their money. I do realize 17k hands @ breakeven is nothing to cry about, but I'd appreciate any criticism. I've posted basic stats, a chart, and five hands.
Thanks in advance !

(1) Villain 33/21/6 @ 50 hands, I seen him for the first time this session, hadn't really tangled with him.

Why do you call the flop if you plan to fold the turn?

I think you mean why call turn if I'm gonna fold the river?

Looking back I really think I shoulda folded turn. I probably rationalized that a turn K or Q would make me.. except I wasn't getting the odds [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

More comments appreciated thx

3) If you call the turn, call the river too and beat his 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
4) Call the river. He could have some hands that you beat (99, A8s etc).

Screenname? I'll look you up.

Hand 1: You can fold the river.

Hand 2: The river is closer then it seems, but ok.

Hand 3: I call the river. Blind war.

Hand 4: Fold the turn if you're folding the river.

Hand 5: C/c the flop.

Break the hands up into individual posts. This is entirely too much to respond to all at once, and this thread is likely to get very unwieldy if everyone starts responding to different things.
